Ritual to Close out the Year
Bye bye 2025... what a year of transformation
BYE BYE 2025
What a year.
A year that, for many of us, forced change.
A year that shook up lives, that made sure you were listening to that little voice inside, the whisper of your soul, that shed light on the layers that needed to be shed, that stripped away parts of you that were impeding your growth, that exposed what wasn’t working and broke up misaligned relationships. Whether or not you were ready, 2025 came through fast and furious, with transformative action.
Somedays this transformation felt like an axe to the heart.
Other days it felt like the beauty of world was so grand that you couldn’t hold it inside your chest.
I spent just as many days crying from sadness as I did from awe and amazement at life.
For me 2025 was unpredictable, challenging, heart-wrenching, unbelievably beautiful, full of blessings and absolutely soul expanding.
In April I had the 10 most pivotal days of my life. In July I moved into my new home. In August I hit a turning point in my divorce and went on “summer break.” From September on, I have more fun than I knew was possible at this age and stage of life. It has been an absolute joy to fall in love with my new life and my new self. In the last year I have become a different person and she surprises me all the time. Naomi 2.0
All of this comes with the ups and downs that is part of being a human on this big spinning globe. Even though more days than not I feel like I could float off the earth with the lightness in my heart, I still have moments of deep sadness. I have times where I worry about my future and being 3 years away from 40 without a 2 year plan. I have lonely nights and longing for my old life. Still, I have no regrets and wouldn’t trade or change anything about where I am today.
This morning I woke up and reflected on the year. There is so much to be said, so many things I could share and write about that I need months to get it down. Instead I answered the four questions below and my responses brought me to tears.
I offer this end of year ritual to you in hopes that you can take a moment to reflect on how this year impacted you, who you have become, what you will bring with into the new year and what you will leave behind.
What have been the biggest lessons of this year?
What are you most proud of?
What are you not carrying with you into 2026?
What are you calling in?
The new year is right around the corner and my wish is that 2026 is the year you decide to say YES to the calling of your heart. That you choose yourself first. That you put your dreams to the forefront. That you go all in even if you have doubts, worries and fears. That you surprise yourself in the greatest ways possible. That you life surprise you with how good and sweet it can be.
I know this is the path I am continuing on and I invite you to join me.
You are ready and the new year is waiting with open arms.
Private Mentorship for 2026 opens soon.
xo, Naomi
